Afro Droid Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 New Wildhearts Album // 26th March 2007The Wildhearts are set to release their eponymous album on the 23rd April. Released on Round Records and featuring Ginger, CJ, Ritch Battersby and Scott Sorry, it promises to be a riff-stormer of a record. The album will be preceeded by a download only single: 'The Sweetest Song', released on the 9th April, which will be available from iTunes (and others which will be posted as we get them)In Ginger's words "We are really proud of this album. It marks what honestly feels like a fresh start in what has been an up-and-down career for the band. Gone are the drugs and alcohol problems. There is a focus and determined spirit in the band now, which we think we have captured perfectly on this album. The melodies are still there, the big choruses are still there, but the mammoth guitar riffs are back and heavier than ever. We're excited to have you along for this fresh new stage in the on-going legacy that is The Wildhearts."The tracklist is as follows:Rooting For The Bad GuyThe Sweetest SongThe Revolution Will Be TelevisedThe New FleshSlaughtered AuthorsThe Hard WayInner City OvertureBi Polar BabyShe's All ThatDestroy All MonstersThey're playing on 10th May in Moshulu.

medichi Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 "We're off the drugs this time. No, really, we mean it. No screw ups from us, no siree. Ooops, we've fucked it all up. Again."Hope its good, mind. Better than Yoni at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It's pant-moisteningly awesome. I've forgotten all about Yawny.There is quite a lot of riff recycling going though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It's really fucking HEAVY. There are at least 6 solid gold choruses on there too. I'm a fan again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'll be interested to hear this, I've really not been into anything the wildhearts have done post '96 (re-release of fishing for luckies which was cracking). It's a shame because 99% of what they did on their first four proper releases was absolutely stunning.If riff-recycling is on the menu... I'd much rather hear rehashed versions of classic wildhearts as opposed to the sonic excrement that was evident on that shit-album-that-was-so-bad-I-can't-even-remember-it's-title-and-haven't-listened-to-it-since-it-came-out-in-1997/98.* In fact even worse than that one was Clam Abuse which is possible the absolute worst release I have ever spent 13 on.I've given ginger too many chances in the past, and bought a lot of the shit that he has released so this better be good.*Endless namless, that was it. The only thing worse than the songs was the production. Makes St Anger sound like the black album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I've given ginger too many chances in the past, and bought a lot of the shit that he has released so this better be good.Today's newie has restored my faith, it's a return to PHUQ/Fishing For Luckies quality. Persevere though, the first track is by far the worst culprit for riff-recyclyng, after that it's all sweet new-sounding stuff, which reminds me a lot of Devin Townsend in places ('Bi-Polar Baby', 'Destroy All Monsters'). It's fucking great actually, I'm listening to it now. I'd almost given up on Ginger after the self-indugent mess of Yoni. *Endless namless, that was it. The only thing worse than the songs was the production. Makes St Anger sound like the black album.I fucking love that album. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes St Anger sound like the black album.I like that album too. Underneath the "different" production is a cracking album. Clam Abuse, on the other hand. Oh dear!New album is gonna be up there with PHUQ / Luckies I reckon! First listen on right now and i'm frankly loving it. Yes, the Wildhearts still rock. Result.

Afro Droid Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I've never actually heard Yoni - why was it so bad?It's just really self-indulgent.

Afro Droid Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I couldn't sleep last night because the new tunes were stuck in my head. That hasn't happened to me since I heard 'Earth Vs...' in '94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
